^ The article is very interesting indeed, deedee. Dai does not seem to agree about the criticism that Morozov
received about the fact that Dai dropped from #2 to #6. Morozov portrays himself as a member of
Dai's team and Dai will be making the decisions about his training, programs etc. Both Dai and Morozov seem happy with their arrangement.

Thanks for the video clip. I believe Dai was at the opening ceremony of an ice rink in Nishinomiya.

Is this some sort of functionality available in Japanese televisions that allows the users to check the TV program scheduling for channels in Japan?
It says that Saturday Sports, an NHK General TV sports program which air from 22:00 - 22:30 JST, will reveal Daisuke Takahashi's short program for the first time (probably a short clip of his practices at the Sapporo camp) on August 10. I hope this is true because I cross-checked this piece of information with Saturday Sports' homepage but couldn't find it.

Apologize for being late: deedee1 many thanks for your translation of Utako's message. Your job is superb: the words you used are so moving.

Thanks to all other folks for info, links, etc.

@demarinis5 DTFF is really a great place. Nice girls who translate from Japanese and are so precious for all Dai-eager fans. I joined DTFF last March after months and months of reading. To be honest I donothing , just write comments every now and then. So I am the less important member and I can speak only for myself, but IMO your "lurking" is not a problem. All those who love Dai-chan are welcome. We all share the same love for this amazing man: why shouldn't we share info and pics???

Thanks a lot for your kind words, Pattina! My problem when translating is I am sloooooow doing it, though.
Have you seen this video, btw? Been posted elsewhere on GS Forum before. Cats are so adorable! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_EAAkaDBhA

What a hysterical video!

It's good to be slow at some tasks, Deedee. Then you know you've gotten it right. We're very happy you're our go-to Daisuke translator.
